Post Con Commissions Dump!

Realized that I have a huge backlog of art done for convention commissions and trades so it all gets dumped here! All of these were either done at or for Wonder Con 2012 or C2E2 2012. Both cons were wonderful and I had such a great time! Also, at both cons, I was at the Womanthology panel so thank you so much for everyone who came by and brought their GIGANTIC books with them!

I also had the pleasure to be on two podcasts! Chicago podcast group Progressively Aggressive covered the Womanthology panel at C2E2 and were kind enough to ask awesome table buddy Katie Shanahan and I to come on their podcast which we recorded on the last day of the convention! Katie's awesome brother Shaggy Shanahan also had my best pal and cowriter of Ranunculus, Alix Clinkingbeard, and I on his own awesome podcast, Talking to the Micromaphone! We recorded this in our hotel room Saturday night instead of going out for drinks (we were too tired!) and it ended up being a nearly two hour long discussion about Womanthology, C2E2, working in Artist Alley, storytelling, etc. I listen to Shaggy's podcast regularly and I find both of the Shanahans to be hilarious so I'm mostly sitting there giggling, which I apologize for.

Anyway, I need to say thank you to a lot of people so here is the list of heartfelt THANKS:
